Visiting Box.net

Box.net is a cool way to store your files online. I did two interviews. One with my professional camera that’ll be up in a week and another I streamed live with my cell phone of the coolest feature that Box.net’s CEO, Aaron Levie, showed me that lets Box.net integrate into other services, like from Zoho, so a document could open automatically into Zoho. Why is this important? Because it shows that the Office 2.0 world is maturing and is starting to become a system all of its own that can bring new capabilities that Microsoft’s Office is going to resist adding. Imagine a Word document opening in Zoho. I doubt that’ll ever happen. Here’s another video where I met Aaron and you see their office. They didn’t believe it was live. I showed them it was and they said it was massively cool.

Anyway, I’m playing around with the cell phone streaming via Qik. The audio is scratchy, but one thing I learned while walking around Stanford Mall today is that people can write to my cell phone’s screen live. That’s an awesome feature and will let me do interactive stuff.
